[Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python
Dear all, I started with a simple python scripting example as described in this paragraph: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting#Rendering Unfortunately I don't see any possibility to interact with the render window using the mouse (to rotate the camera, zoom, pan, ...) as I did before in C++: ... // an interactor vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New(); iren-SetRenderWindow(renWin); // add actors ren1-AddActor(...); // render an image renWin-Render(); // begin mouse interaction iren-Start(); Is it possible to use mouse interaction in combination with python scripting?

Re: [Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python
Hi Lars, Currently it is not possible with paraview-python. But you can make it work using vtk-python (which looks very similar to your c++ example.)

Re: [Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python
Paraview python scripting has the concept of active objects and active views. At the python console, type 'help(Show)' and you'll see that it takes optional object and view arguments. If the arguments are not specified it uses the 'active' object and view. When you create a view (CreateRenderView()) or create an object (Sphere()) they become the active objects. The active object concept is explained on the python scripting wiki page. Pat On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 5:30 PM, Lars Freemail larsfreem...@yahoo.dewrote: cool, it works perfectly! I'll try to figure out, what is happening under the hood. Maybe you can help me with the first step? How does the sequence Sphere(); Show(); Render() in your example know that it should render into the previously created iren? Does paraview.simple keep track of opened windows and reuse them when one is available?

Re: [Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python
Also, it should be noted that if you issue these commands from the Python Shell
in the ParaView GUI, the visualization gets built in the ParaView GUI and you
can then use the mouse to interact with its views as usual.

iren-Start();
Is it possible to use mouse interaction in combination with python scripting?
Thanks
